Common questions about Akita
How much is LEGO njo0521 (Akita) worth in 2026?
The LEGO Akita (njo0521) is worth $76.03 used and $105.19 new/sealed on average, based on BrickLink sales data from the last 6 months. Prices range from $43.43 to $155.00 depending on condition. This is above the Ninjago theme average of $8.54. Completeness (all accessories included) and print condition are the biggest factors affecting price.
What sets include the Akita minifigure?
Akita appears in 1 set: Castle of the Forsaken Emperor (70678-1, ~$247.77). Since it was only in one set, it can't be sourced elsewhere — that scarcity is reflected in the price.
How do I identify Akita?
Look for the BrickLink ID njo0521 — it's the definitive identifier for this figure. Akita is made up of 5 parts (a standard minifigure assembly). The parts breakdown on this page shows each component with colors. If you have a loose figure and aren't sure what it is, the brick'em scanner can identify it from a photo in a few seconds.
What's the best way to sell Akita?
At $76.03, this figure is worth listing individually on BrickLink where LEGO buyers specifically search by ID. Take clear photos showing all sides and accessories. BrickLink listings at or slightly below the 6-month average tend to sell within a week or two. eBay is a good secondary option if you want a wider audience, but expect slightly lower prices after fees.
Does condition matter for Akita?
At $76.03 average, yes. Buyers at this price point expect a complete figure with all accessories, no major scratches on printed elements, and tight joints. Minor play wear is generally acceptable, but cracked or heavily scratched torso prints will drop the price below average. If you have the figure new/sealed (averaging $105.19), keep it protected — the premium for mint condition is significant.
